Whitstable Town boss Marcel Nimani offers the club’s best wishes to Harry Gamble after winger sustains head injury in Beckenham Town’s abandoned match with Phoenix Sports

Whitstable manager Marcel Nimani has joined those offering their best wishes to winger Harry Gamble.

Gamble, who started the campaign with the Oystermen before he joined Beckenham on dual registration, sustained a head injury which led to Becks’ Isthmian South East game at Phoenix Sports being abandoned on New Year’s Day.

Beckenham provided an update later that night, stating Gamble had suffered a bad concussion - but, crucially, no serious injury to his neck or head.

Nimani said: “It was a very fearful moment.

“I was at home following the games live. When I heard it was Harry Gamble, I immediately rang the players who I knew were at the ground and watching.

“Luckily, he has been released from hospital. Harry was a huge servant for Whitstable.

“He was a tremendous player for the club and is still registered with us. We would like to wish him well.”

Nimani revealed he remains in contact with Gamble.

“It wasn’t long ago that I spoke to him,” he added. “It was only a couple of weeks ago and we had a great conversation.

“He was a very family-oriented man with us. He brought his family to lots of games.

“As part of the progressive journey that we have created, he’s been a key factor in that. Although at the moment he’s playing at Beckenham, he’s still very much part of our family.

“He’s a warrior, belongs on the football pitch and I would like to see him there as soon as possible.”

On social media, Gamble wrote on Wednesday: “I would just like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart – Beckenham Town and Phoenix Sports’ medical staff, players, supporters and management team for all your help at Monday’s game.

“I’m at home and resting now, and would like to thank everyone for their well wishes.”
